Tag Archives: GELATO

Italy’s gelato rivals plain ice cream for its bright colors, its incredible smoothness and its clean, clear, sparkling flavor! It takes its place in the chilled dessert family of ice creams, sherbets, sorbets, glaces, granitas, Italian ices, frozen custards and frozen yogurts.

Gelato is made from egg yolks, milk, water, or soy milk, some sugar plus fresh fruit, chocolate, nuts, small candies, sweets or specially crumbled cookies. Well-made gelato has more egg yolks, more milk, less cream than supermarket ice cream. This makes the gelato twice as heavy as ice cream and creamier.
